We are linear, goal seeking creatures in a cyclical, circular, feedback driven realty. Our ability to abstract has not come to terms with the fact of Garbage in/Garbage out, when the theories metastasize beyond their context. So we spiral into the black hole in the middle, seeking that illusive pot of gold at the end of the narrative arc.

Synchronization beats harmonization and all who don't fall in line are cancelled/ostracized/burned at the stake.

Nature doesn't all march to the beat of the same drummer though. It is so diverse and so integrated because it's nonlinear. Nodes and networks, organisms and ecosystems, particles and fields. We are monists in a dualist reality.

Life is a dance, not a race.
